Define Function

The Define Function step lets you create local parameters for a Function. These parameters are only available within that specific Function in your process. Use this step to manage data flow inside your custom Functions.

How to Use Define Function

Use the Define Function step to set up input and output parameters for your custom Functions.

Step 1: Add the Define Function Step

1. Drag and drop the Define Function step into your process workflow.
2. (Optional) In the Step name field, enter a custom name for this step. This helps you identify it in your process.

Step 2: Add Parameters

1. Select the Define Function step in your workflow.
2. Add the input and output parameters your Function needs.
3. Set up each parameter based on its role in the Function.

• Add as many input and output parameters as your Function needs to work correctly.
